Support for Flash continues to erode. Mobile browsers stopped
playing Flash years ago, and reports suggest the end of full support for Flash
in Google’s Chrome browser is imminent. More and more, it’s becoming obvious
that Flash is not a long-term solution. But if you have Flash content in your
online training materials, what can you do about it other than completely
rebuild?

In this session, you’ll explore options for displaying your Flash
content going forward so you can avoid having to re-create it from scratch. You’ll
look at how you can capture your existing Flash content and convert it to a
more future-friendly format. You’ll also learn how to provide a video fallback
for your Flash presentations. To help you move forward, you’ll then find out
how you can use the HTML video player to do much of what Flash does today.

In
this session, you will learn:

How tools can capture the output from
your Flash presentations and convert it to video

How to provide a video fallback for
browsers that do not support Flash

What some of the alternatives to Flash
are in modern HTML

How to control video playback with “track”
files
